People mag's Top 5 things about 'NM'

Friday November 6, 2009 at 11:25 AM

Because The Twilight Saga: New Moon is probably the most highly anticipated movie of the year, fervent fans – whether on Team Edward or Team Jacob – are practically salivating at the prospect of seeing their favorite heartthrobs on the big screen once the movie opens Nov. 20.

And since PEOPLE has gotten an early look at the film, now we can report on the top five aspects to New Moon that fans can eagerly anticipate. (Warning: Spoiler Alert!)

Jacob Black's Body: Photos of Taylor Lautner's amazing transformation from a scrawny kid to a rippling teen werewolf already have been making the rounds for months. But the first time Lautner rips off his T-shirt to reveal his muscled chest onscreen, the sight is still gasp-worthy. In fact, Lautner sizzles and smolders throughout New Moon as he walks the line between friendship and romance with Bella (Kristen Stewart). Though Bella's heart belongs to Edward (Robert Pattinson), Launter may steal Pattinson's heartthrob status right out from under his pale nose.

Bella and Edward's Reunion: When Edward comes to the (incorrect) conclusion that his love, Bella, is dead, he decides there is no choice but to commit vampire suicide. Of course, the only person who can save him is Bella. When she launches herself through a crowd and across a fountain in an Italian square to push Edward out of harm's way, the sparks that fly between the soul-mates are like fireworks.

The Wolf Pack: The actors who play Jacob Black's gang of strapping pals provide the perfect mix of teen tension and ferocious loyalty that exist between the group of guys who realize that one and all are actually werewolves. They snarl and yelp, tease and torment each other, and of course, fight together just like Twilight Saga author Stephanie Meyer describes in her series.

Dakota Fanning: She plays the pint-sized vamp, Jane, who wields a daunting power – simply by concentrating she can cause her victims to convulse in excruciating pain. She's not in the movie for very long, but when she focuses those red eyes on her targets and softly whispers, "Pain," everyone will squirm.

The Sense of Humor: While the Twilight series is based overwrought teenage angst, director Chris Weitz lightens the mood with some well-placed humor. Bella's human school friends provide comic relief. When one of them has to leave a horror movie because he's ill, Launter's character laughs and says, "What a marshmallow." And when a member of the wolf pack accidentally changes from human to werewolf right in front of Bella, another member quips, "Well, I guess the wolf is out of the bag."

Sorry, I'm still a bit nauseous after reading their first point.

Truth?

Friday November 6, 2009 at 10:04 AM

It seems that since we have had two articles come out where denial was the name of the game, Pop Tarts spoke to some "insiders" and come up with the lovely little pile of garbage below.

Remember the saying, "Two wrongs don't make a right?"  In the case of this article, I wonder what three wrongs makes.

Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Keeping Relationship Secret

While Rob Pattinson captured the hearts of millions of ladies (and men) across the world, the heartthrob told us that he refuses to watch himself on-screen. Period.

“I never watch my stuff, ever,” he said. “I just hate it. Nothing good can come out of watching yourself.”

And despite the success of the first “Twilight” installment directed by Catherine Hardwicke, could Pattinson have had anything to do with why she wasn’t signed on to “New Moon”?

“Catherine and Rob didn’t exactly get along that well,” explained an insider. “Rob is more a method actor and likes to take time and get into his character while Catherine likes to get things moving. It caused a lot of tension between them.”

On the note of tension, Pop Tarts has also been told that Pattinson’s off-screen romance with Kristen Stewart caused one bitter love triangle with fellow "Twilighter" Nikki Reed, who started dating the teen heartthrob late last year. But it seems the press isn’t the only ones to keep hearing romance denials from the high-profile duo.

“Rob and Kristen are funny because they're so super secretive, even with their closest friends in the cast, they're very cryptic. They are together for sure because it really caused waves between Rob,Kristen and Nikki Reed,” an inside source dished to Tarts. “After the first 'Twilight' wrapped, when Rob and Nikki were together and no one was a mega-star yet, you could still see the sparks between Kristen and Rob even though they were each in their respective relationships ... they always had this really intense, magnetic chemistry. So Nikki was the one to get hurt.”

But apparently all the tabloid talk of them “living these super decadent romantic lives together high above the streets of Vancouver in their hotel suites” is well, a load of BS. 

“They're very boring people.  Very low key and don’t discuss their relationship,” added the insider.

So it’s just as well Miss Reed found herself another beau, because things could have turned pretty ugly with Miss Stewart during the promotion of “New Moon.”

“Nikki was really in love with Rob, but we’re all is scared to bring it up now. It’s something we just don’t talk about,” added our source. “Everyone is relieved she’s with Paris (Latsis, Paris Hilton’s former fiancé) because he is an amazing boyfriend to her. She's happy and she’s really found someone that she can lean on through all the media hype surrounding the series.”

Rathbone on Love and Lust

Friday November 6, 2009 at 9:54 AM

I've never been a big fan of Jackson Rathbone because to me he will always be the boy in this vid

BUT,

I read something today that makes me wanna rethink my anti-Rathbone bias...

Jackson on love and lust: “Lust tastes like tequila and love tastes like whiskey. Love burns for longer and warms you up on the inside and sometimes it makes you do stupid things. Tequila just makes you wasted.”

Truth.

That pretty much nails it.  Do you think this is an original Jackson Rathbone thought? or did another deepthinker come up with it first, and this girly-boy is just plagiarizing?

This is from December's UK-edition of Glamour.  I got it from Just Jared

Your Signficant Others

Friday November 6, 2009 at 8:26 AM

This is my first campfire, so howdy and gather round.  My question:  What do your significant others think of your twilight obsession?  

I had a late night discussion with my husband last night where he was trying to understand the appeal of the books, fanfiction, online communities, etc.   I tried to explain, but just couldn't and told him to hang in there.   In the end I mentioned to him that some fanfic is responsible for our lately more adventurous sex-life and I won him over :)  haha. 

So guess who was tickled to death when she got an email from her husband this morning with this in it: http://kaction.com/badfanfiction/.  I love him!  So cute. 

Do tell:  how has fanfiction influenced your relationship?

Hello

I am rather impressed with this website.

There isn't a lot of serious speculation surrounding the humans portraying me and my family, which is appreciated.

So, how did you all decide to join this forest?  I'm afraid the various twitter accounts bearing my name are false as I find the entire idea of constant updates on your current whereabouts to be tiresome, but I understand Twitter plays a big part in the Twilight universe.

I'd post a picture, but I think you all ogle me too much as it is.

Mental Illness, yay or nay?

Thursday November 5, 2009 at 9:35 PM

So I saw the new contest for Mentalward- and it got me thinking. Twilight is a great fandom for mental illness. Our romantic lead is sorta stalkerish, Rosalie suffers PTSD, Alice was committed to a mental asylum, blah blah blah.

What do you think about mental illness in fanfic? Are there disorders that you just can't read about? Eating disorders, for me, are really tricky. Reading about Bella with an eating disorder makes me flash back to conversations in highschool with my most insecure friends, and I sorta would rather stab my eyes out.

Are there stories that you won't read because Edward has a disorder that makes him less than sexy? What if Edward had the eating disorder- would you read about a bulimic Edward?  An Edward with gender identity issues? Tourette's?

On the flipside, are there disorders that are -ahem- sexier to read about? We like obsessive Edwards. We like depressed Edwards (aww baby, you're broken? how about a big cup of Bella to perk you up) We're ok with drug use (doesn't it just complete the Doucheward image?)

Needle in a haystack

Thursday November 5, 2009 at 7:36 PM

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS REALLY NOT INTERESTED, NOT THE TINIEST BIT, NO, IN WATCHING NEW MOON?

I mean, I'll go watch it, just because I wanna get a serious laugh out of it, like I did when Twilight came out. And because I don't want people to tell me about it, so I'll just go, watch it, and whenever someone starts a conversation about it I'll just cut them off. But seriously, I'm not interested in the slightest.

I'm not gonna say THE TWILIGHT MOVIE RUINED IT FOR ME! That'd be a tad bit overreacting, because.. it didn't. Whenever I think of Edward or Bella or whoever, the first thing that comes to my mind certainly isn't anyone in the cast. I don't really like Rob. I hate Kristen, I think Taylor looks like he did one of those 'I GOT RIPPED IN 40 DAYS, NO EXCERCISING OR SHIT! TRY IT!!' thingies, Jackson.. umm.. not. Nikki. Don't even get me started on Nikki.. etcetcetc.

I only saw Twilight twice, and I plan on keeping it that way. I think New Moon will be a one-time thing though. Too much Jacob, so little Edward? NUH-UH.

Character deaths

Thursday November 5, 2009 at 4:08 PM

I am reading Afterlife right now (anyone else reading it?) and I sort of freaked when Edward died. I wasn't expecting it but will keep reading because I am curious about where the author is going with it. So I want to ask, will you read a fic where Edward or a major character dies?

I am adding this picture because he is cute in it.

A New Community Made By YOU!

Thursday November 5, 2009 at 4:02 PM

 

So, I posted A Request  in the wee hourse of the night last night, asking you to give me recs for Newbie Twific readers, and boy did you give me some F*Tastic fics! 

 

And after getting all those amazing stories, I decided to make a Community for first time readers.

 

I tried to stay true to my criteria, but it was so damn hard.

 

Here's the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/community/First_Timers_Venturing_into_the_Twific_World/75621/

 

 

If you find more fics that you would like to rec, I would gladly add them to the list.

 

 

Anyway, I wanted to share it with you guys because YOU helped create it and in case you wanted to reel in some new readers.

 

So basically, there are fics in there that have some smexin in it, but they're all vampire stories. Either true to the books or AU. And there's some cussin in there too :)

 

Thank you guys again!

 (And I hope you know, you guys and ADF are F-ing awesome! Just saying.)

 

 

And just cuz:
